Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy is a type of energy that an object possesses due to its motion. When an object is in motion, it has the potential to do work, and kinetic energy is the energy associated with this potential. Formulas for Kinetic Energy The formula for translational kinetic energy is: where KE is the translational kinetic…
